                                                                    Chapter 7: A Crazy Weekend

I woke up at the sound of a rooster crowing. When I thought about it I looked at the clock on Fluttershy’s wall and saw that the damned bird kept waking me up at 6:30 every morning. Just about when you could see the sun. I whispered into Fluttershy’s ears.

“Good morning Fluttershy.” I said to her. She slowly opened her eyes.

“Good morning Dako.” She said smiling.

“I have to get up now, I’m going to get ready for work.” I said.

“Okay, I’ll be down in a little while.” She said, closing her eyes.

“Okay.” I headed for the bathroom and turned on the faucet.

Lucky for me there was a shower head, and I prefer showers. When the water was warm I got in and pulled back the curtains. Again, things were a little smaller and shorter in this world, considering the ponies aren’t very tall. To picture my situation, just remember back to the scene in the movie Elf, where Buddy realizes why he’s so different, and it shows him standing out of the top of the shower. That was what I had to deal with. But no matter, I got clean and ready. I dried off, got dressed, and went to the kitchen to get breakfast ready. I was halfway done with my hash browns when Fluttershy walked in.

“Hey, perfect timing, the taters are almost done.” I said smiling at her.

“They smell good.” She said inhaling deeply.

I handed her her plate and a grabbed mine then took a seat. We ate, me eating a little faster, and a lot more than her. Then I got ready to leave.

“Remember Fluttershy, if you need anything at all, just come find me.” I told her.

“I will.” She said. As I head for the door she flew up to my face for a second. Then she kissed me on the cheek.

“Aww, Fluttershy.” I said then I hugged her. “Now I don’t want to go, you’re too adorable to leave behind.” As I said that she started to blush a little bit.

“I’ll be back before you know it.” I said walking out of the door.

I flew off in the direction of the post office. When I got there I saw the clock read 7:59, but the doors were locked, and the sign said “Closed”. I was confused for a moment, then a voice broke the silence.

“So he tricked you too?” it was Derpy’s voice. She was standing behind me.

“What?” I asked. I was still confused. I heard trick, but what could this trick be?

“It’s Saturday silly!” she said smiling at me. “We don’t have to work on the weekend.”

It hit me, that this was my seventh day here. I arrived here on a Saturday, seven days ago. Now I fully understood, and I was a little angry. The guy tells me to be here at 8:00 sharp, I get up early, leave Fluttershy, miss sleeping in and miss cuddling, to find out the post office is closed and that it’s a Saturday?

“Son of a bitch. Thank you Derpy, for being kind about it.” I told her.

“It’s okay, he got me with that when I first started working here too.” She said.

“What did you do when you found out?” I asked her.

“I cried.” She said. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. I think it may have been my heart tearing a little. “I thought he was making fun of me because of my eyes.” She said. “Maybe he thought I was dumb.”

“I’m sorry.” I said to her, then kneeled down and gave her a huge hug. Then I stood back up. “I think I might dangle him over a cliff somewhere if I find him, he better not run into me angry.” I said, just entertaining the thought. I wouldn’t really do it, I’m supposed to be a good guy anyway.

“So, what brings you here anyway, if you already knew it was Saturday?” I asked.

“I was passing by on my way to get some muffins for breakfast.” She said smiling now.

“Oh, well I guess I’ll see you Monday, good morning, and good day.” I said, then flew away waving at her. She waved back, then walked off. I flew back to Fluttershy’s so I could do something with her. I wanted her and I to do something, maybe even at the least walk around town together. When I got there she was surprised to see me home, after all, it was only 8:15. She was coming back in from the back of the cottage.

“Dako? What are you doing back here? What happened to work?” she asked me.

“The boss pranked me, the post office is only open on weekdays, it’s Saturday.” I said.

“Oh, I’m so sorry.” She said flying over to me, she began to hug me mid-air.

“It’s okay, at least now we have time to do something together.” I said.

“Well, what do you want to do?” she asked me.

“Hm, you said you have music here in Equestria, right?” I asked her.

“Yes, we don’t have those iPod things like you do. We have something called, “Vinyl Records”.” She explained.

“Cool, I had those too, they were old! I believe they were invented in my world about 80 years before I was born. But I know those.” I said to her excitedly.

“Wow, we’ve only had ours for about half of that time.” She said.

“Man, soon you guys will invent the 8 track, then cassette tapes, and maybe CDs. Wait, CDs are digital, and you all don’t even have computers, but maybe soon you guys will have computers too!” I said excited again. Since saiyans retain their youth that would hopefully mean I would live long enough to see these things invented. Hopefully T.V. is one of them.

“Well, speaking of music, do you know anyone who has any equipment?” I asked her.

“Well, there may be somepony, how about Vinyl?” She said.

“Who?” I think I knew what she meant, but I wasn’t sure just yet.

“Somepony named Vinyl Scratch, but her DJ name is DJ Pon-3.” She explained.

“Perfect, let’s go.” I said I ran upstairs to get my iPod, then ran back down.

We took off headed for Ponyville, but this time I was flying at Fluttershy’s pace, so it took a little longer than I expected. It took about 15 minutes. When we came into Ponyville Fluttershy took the lead and led me to a house that looked like it was full of sound equipment. We landed out front, then walked inside seeing equipment and electronics everywhere. The most abundant thing, was speakers. There were speakers everywhere, from 1” tweeters, to 18” subwoofers. I had no idea this kinda sound equipment existed in Equestria. Then I saw Vinyl walk into the room.

“Hello folks, can I help you?” she asked us.

“Is this all yours?” I asked her, still looking around in amazement.

“Actually, this is a run-at-home kind of audio store.” She said proudly.

“Wow, can I test out some of your speakers?” I asked, eager to play something on the 18 inch subwoofers.

“Go ahead.” She told me.

I walked over to a pair of speakers. In between them was a huge stereo system that said on the front “5000 watts”. I found an audio jack cable that would fit my iPod’s output, a 3.5mm jack. I connected the two together, then turned the stereo and my iPod on. I looked for a couple of songs, there were so many I wanted to try. I finally settled on E-40 Musclecars. As soon as I hit play the bass kicked in and the speakers started shaking everything as they began moving the tremendous amount of air they were designed to move. I heard Fluttershy yelp a little, so I turned the volume down. I told her it was just music, and she started to calm down a tiny bit. Vinyl Scratch came up next and started bobbing her head to the beat.

“Boom, boom boom, boom boom, boom.” One of the background singers was whispering to the beat.

“Not bad.” She said, sounding impressed. I turned the music off.

“Thanks.” I said. “They’re nice speakers, but I don’t think I can afford them, I just really wanted to try them too.”

“Yeah, they’re loud.” Said Fluttershy.

“Alright, well if you need or want anything, just let me know.” Vinyl Scratch said to us.

Me and Fluttershy walked outside and began walking for the center of Ponyville, just so we could spend some time together.

“So why did you want to see a place that had music stuff?” Fluttershy asked me.

“Well, my iPod has a battery that I could normally recharge, but I can’t do it here, so I want to try and transfer all of the music I can to vinyl records.” I explained.

“Maybe when I make a couple bits I can afford to do the transfer.” I said.

“Oh, I see.” She said.

We were walking along and had just rounded a corner when I had bumped right into a griffon.

“Hey pal, watch where your going!” it said. I instantly recognized the voice.

“Gilda?” I said.

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.” She said.

“Well well well, look what we have here, some strange hairless looking monkey in clothes, and the shy little crybaby.” She said.

“Hey! Who are you calling a monkey!” I said to her.

“What’s the matter?” she asked in a grumpy tone.

“Don’t you call Fluttershy a crybaby, you leave her alone or you’ll be dealing with me.” I said to Gilda, as I started getting in her face.

“Dako, please, let’s just go.” Fluttershy asked me.

“Yeah, run away!” Gilda yelled at Fluttershy.

“I said, LEAVE HER ALONE!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, my face inches from hers. By now by standing  ponies were all staring.

“Oh, so you wanna yell huh?” she said before taking a deep breath then roaring as loud as possible, making my ears ring a little.

I heard Fluttershy whimpering behind me. I turned and saw her lying down right behind me with her eyes shut tight, and tears starting to stream down. Inside I felt as though my heart stopped beating, like gears were slowing to a halt. I felt myself getting warmer, and warmer like being surrounded by steam. I felt my fists involuntarily ball up and I was gritting my teeth, and as if in slow motion, I turned to my left very slowly while swinging my right fist around. Everything seemed slow, and then instantly sped up as soon as I made contact. I hit Gilda right in the face, so hard that I flipped her onto her back and off of her feet. Well, that is after she flew through the air all the way across the street. She was knocked out cold, and that would have been enough, except for the fact that I was still so pissed off. I instantly dodged over to her in a blur. I was hovering a foot over her.

“WHAT NOW, BITCH! FUCK YOU!” I yelled down at her. “If you ever make Fluttershy cry again, no one will ever see you AGAIN!” I screamed at her. All of the bystanders were staring with wide eyes. Finally I snapped out of it. I turned and flew back over to Fluttershy who was still on the ground crying.

“Fluttershy. Fluttershy, it’s alright, it’s okay now.” I said trying to comfort her. She was still crying, and there were lots of tears.

“Fluttershy, look at me, its okay now. Please stop crying, you’re breaking my heart Fluttershy, I hate seeing you cry.” I said to her. Finally she looked up at me through teary eyes. Then she jumped up at me, throwing her forelegs around me hugging me tight. I kneeled down so I could hold her. She started crying harder into my chest, and she was shaking.

“Shh, it’s okay. She’s gone, I knocked her out.” Gilda was actually starting to get up. She didn’t hesitate to look around, she got up and flew away.

“I was so scared.” Fluttershy finally managed to say. “When you started yelling, and got loud and mean and scary.” She said while still crying. “And Gilda started saying mean things.”

“Shh shh, it’s okay now. I took care of her, I don’t think she’ll bother us anymore.” I said to Fluttershy. It may have only been 10:00 but this day was going bad so far.

“Okay Fluttershy, we’re going home now, do you think you can fly?” I asked her. She shook her head.

“Okay Fluttershy, I’m going to carry you home, okay?” I said. She nodded. I put my left arm underneath and around her flank to hold her up in my arms and had my right arm around her back. For a pony she wasn’t very heavy, she felt like she only weighed about 70 or 80 lbs. She was hanging on to me with her hooves over my shoulders and her back legs wrapped around my waist. I slowly flew off towards home.

“Okay Fluttershy, we’re going home.” I whispered into her ear.

The whole way back I flew slowly so Fluttershy would be comfortable, and with my right arm I was stroking her mane. I was flying so slowly that it took about 25 minutes to get home. My right hand stung a little, like it was cut. I was pretty sure I cut myself on Gilda’s beak. When I set down in front of the door I opened it with my free right arm and saw that sure enough I had cut myself on Gilda’s beak. I shut the door behind me and flew upstairs with Fluttershy still in my arms. I pulled back the blankets and laid down on the bed, Fluttershy was now lying on top of me on my chest. I pulled the blankets over us. Even though I was still fully clothed I didn’t mind being in bed. Fluttershy had fallen asleep on the way home, she had cried herself to sleep, and was shaking still, all the way until she fell asleep. Now her head was resting on me on my chest, and I kissed her on the forehead.

I laid there with her on top of me for what felt like an hour. I could feel her breathing, and her heart beating. Her face was stained with her tears. She felt so warm, and soft and comfortable, she was just being a cute little pony, sleeping on top of me like that. I didn’t feel like doing anything else for the rest of the day. I put arms around her back and hugged her to me, and soon I closed my eyes and fell asleep along with her, feeling exhausted from the dramatic experience. I slept with her for the rest of the day. I felt like I was protecting her, guarding her. Like I was shielding her from all of the evils and bad things in this world.  By the time I had fallen asleep I guess it was about 11:00, or 12:00.

Tomorrow would be a way for me to make it up to her if I could. Maybe surprise her with a nice dinner or something. Or breakfast in bed. Either way, I would make it up to her, somehow.
